SRK-Alia Bhatt film starts in January

Sources say that Shah Rukh liked Gauri Shinde’s script so much that he has allotted all his dates post Dilwale to her film

There’s a lot of curiosity about Gauri Shinde’s next film that brings Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt on screen together for the first time. Not much is known about the story and other details. But we hear that King Khan is so pleased with the English Vinglish director’s script for this film, that he has allotted all his dates, post the release of Dilwale.

Gauri has confirmed that they will start shooting in January, 2016. Speaking about the film, a source close to the director says, “It’s a very unconventional film and those looking to see a ‘Raj’ wooing Alia with his arms outstretched will be in for a shock. This film will take Shah Rukh to another level of self-expression.”

From the looks of it, 2016 will be the year of the unconventional for Shah Rukh. In Rahul Dholakia’s film Raees, he will be seen as an illicit liquor baron in Gujarat. In Maneesh Sharma’s Fan Shah Rukh plays his own fan. And finally, in Gauri Shinde’s untitled film he will show a new face of his romantic image.
